Elektron SidStation

"The SidStation is a MIDI-controlled synthesizer with real-time controllers.
The heart of this synthesizer is the sound generating chip from the classic
home computer Commodore 64. This sound chip, named SID (Sound Interface
Device) was developed in the early eighties by Bob Yannes at MOS technology."

"The rediscovery of the SID-sound will be a pleasant surprise for many sound
explorers that are looking for something more exiting than the current crop
of analog imitating 'virtual' synthesizers."

Features of the SidStation synth module include a rotary wheel for easy data entry,
an alpha-numeric 2x16 LCD display with back-lighting, audio input and output, 3 syncable oscillators
with traditional (triangle, sawtooth, pulse) waveforms, nice resonant filters, arpeggiators, effects
and ring modulation. The numeric keyboard and large knobs offer a unique form
of hands-on desktop dance / techno music production for the 90's and beyond!
